Elect Julie Baumgardner Wood County Recorder

Julie Larabee Baumgardner has announced her candidacy for election for Wood County Recorder.

In announcing, Baumgardner said, “Sue Kinder has done a wonderful job maintaining a high quality of service over the past 21 years in the recorder’s office. I want to work hard to carry on the excellent work that Sue has done.”

Baumgardner worked for five and a half years in the recorder’s office before joining DMC Consulting Inc. as a computer consultant where she has helped automate billing and payroll services for both private industry and public agencies. DMC worked with the recorder’s office to help automate its processes while Baumgardner was in the recorder's office. She is a graduate of Bowling Green High School and of the ComTech program at University of Toledo.


“ My experience in the recorder’s office, along with my private sector experience related to technology, will help the recorder’s office deal with future technology changes. One thing I would like to do is make more information available online, with the appropriate security measures,” she said.

Biography

I am Julie Larabee Baumgardner and I am running for Wood County Recorder. Currently, I work DMC Consulting, Inc a computer software development company. I have been with the company for ten years writing software for both private and public companies. I have created payroll, manufacturing, and scheduling packages, just to name a few, for these companies.

The last five years, I have been on a team that works with District, Circuit, Juvenile, and Probate courts. While on that team I have developed collection, check writing, electronic transfer, random judge selection, and calendaring software.

Before this I worked in the Wood County Recorder’s office for over five years under the current recorder Sue Kinder. My job duties included recording documents, writing legal descriptions, entering information in to the computer system, and helping the public by phone or in person look up their property’s history or the information about a piece of property they were interested in buying. I would like to carry on the excellent service the recorder’s office currently provides.

I believe my previous experience in the office will help me do this. Also, my experience as a software developer will help me continue to make the necessary technological changes to continue to expand that service to the internet and further enhance the service the office provides.

My husband is a third generation Wood County farmer and we have a three year old son, Jacob. I know what it takes to make a budget, process payroll, and help keep a small business running.

I am also the daughter of Ruth Larabee, the former director of Job and Family Services in Wood County, who instilled in me the importance of public service. I believe keeping the records of the county is an important public service and with my experience both professionally and privately I will be able to provide this public service with my term as Wood County Recorder.
